This is my own pattern, playing around with yarn. It's done in two pieces. The main part is fingerless mittens. They can be done with the half fingers like I have here or done straight across with no fingers. The second piece is done from the top down in rounds like the top half of a mitten. The bottom edge is then sewn horizontally to the outside of the mitten to create the cover and hand flap.

"Did you hear of the pregnant cat who ate a ball of yarn? She had mittens!"
"Went to my doctor, he told me I needed more fiber. So I stopped at the yarn store on my way home."

This is variegated yarn, so I can't take credit for the striping. I'm not sure what color this was, but it was Hobby Lobby's I Love This Yarn. Yes, Grumpy Grandma. Crocheted mittens are very warm. When I first started crocheting, I wondered about the holes in crochet. But when I put on gloves, hats, and scarves, they actually get too hot so I have to take them off, especially in the car. Convertible gloves are nice. They're great for fishing out keys from your pockets an make nice driving gloves. You can put a pair of those one size fits all stretchy magic gloves underneath if the temps turn subzero, like it has been here for the past week or so. Toasty!
